Every now and then I do event tech for some small tech conferences, lectures, etc.
A while ago we had an issue where, under some circumstances, macbooks would enforce HDCP for their output. Obviously an issue if you're trying to record and stream a talk. And we didn't have any hdcp removal devices on hand.
So I set up a Sony FX30 with fujinon broadcast optics on a tripod, aimed at the screen. Some white balancing and adjustments to brightness and ISO curve later and the image was undistinguishable from the original.
We actually used that setup for all talks on that day, and it worked perfectly fine.
